INTRODUCTION
Strenuous exercise induces significant increases in cardiac biomarkers. However, it is still unclear whether this is caused by cardiomyocyte necrosis or secondary mechanisms such as… (More)

The Arg16Gly single nucleotide polymorphism of the human beta(2)-adrenoceptor (ADRB2) gene was evaluated in a case-control study that included 313 white male elite endurance athletes and 297 white… (More)

BACKGROUND
Data on physical activity assessed by cardiac implantable electronic devices (ICD/CRT) have been used for prognostic implications in heart failure patients, but no study has ever compared… (More)

Patients after coarctation repair still have an increased risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. This has been explained by the persisting hypertension and alterations in the peripheral… (More)

PURPOSE
Strenuous exercise induces significant increases in inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers and transient dysfunction of the left ventricle. It is still unclear whether the electrophysiological… (More)

We present GymSkill, a personal trainer for ubiquitous monitoring and assessment of physical activity using standard fitness equipment. The system records and analyzes exercises using the sensors of… (More)
